| Annotation | Research representing older people benefits greatly from a three-way partnership that involves advocacy groups, researchers and governments. The authors present three case studies drawn their own experience in Australia, to illustrate different forms of research initiation, collaboration and funding: the Aging and the Family Project (Australian National University, ANU, 1980-1985); the Evaluation of the Medicine Information Project (begun in 1991); and the Strategic Retirement Study (Lincoln Gerontology Centre, La Trobe University and the Council on the Ageing, Victoria). Although whoever sets the research questions in the funding process has the major influence on the eventual findings of studies, the openness of the research process and communication among the stakeholders are key influences on the body of knowledge available for policy development.
